About River Dance Lodge PDF Print E-mail

adventure resortIn 2004 we began construction of Idaho's premier outdoor adventure resort, River Dance Lodge. The adventure lodge is situated on the banks of the Clearwater River in North Central Idaho, adjacent to the 1.3 million acre Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area and three miles from the historic Lewis and Clark Trail . River Dance Lodge is a true celebration of wild rivers, nature and adventure sports. Our luxury accommodations include eight handcrafted log cabins with private hot tubs, a spacious Main Lodge, a full-service cafe, and a rich treasure trove of day trip adventure activities in the surrounding wilderness.

Through ROW Adventures, we offer whitewater rafting, canoeing, fly fishing and raft-supported hiking adventures in Idaho, Oregon and Montana. We are proud to say that we run more Idaho rivers than any other outfitter. We offer a wide choice in river trips, from family rafting trips on the Salmon River Canyons to 3-6 day trips on the mighty Snake in Hells Canyon and 6-day vacations on the legendary Middle Fork of the Salmon. For adrenaline junkies, we run the thunderous Lochsa in Idaho. And in May and early June, we offer spectacular white water rafting trips on the crown jewels of desert rivers, the Owyhee River and Bruneau River.
